If you do want RADIUS (because you can, or because you want to learn about it) you
probably want
portslave too. This makes your linux box act as a modem dial-in box. This will
contact your
RADIUS server for credentials. The RADIUS server I recommend is cistron radiusd
(linked from
http://www.freeradius.org/). Freeradius is an alpha release update on cistron.
If you really want livingston radius, you will have to do:
uncompress radius_2.0.1_Linux_2.0.tar.Z
tar xvf radius_2.0.1_Linux_2.0.tar
cd radius_2.01._Linux_2.0
ls
then you should read any files called readme, install, the whole doc directory.
if you want to find out about the commands you're typing: type man <command> e.g. man
uncompress
which will give you heaps of information about what the commands do.
Of course if you just want to dial into your box, then mgetty is what you want though.

You don't want radius. If i understand this correctly you have BPC
connecting you to the net and you have a standard phone line with modem
also hooked up to the computer. Radius can be used to authenticate users
dialing into different access routers from a single authentication source
within the network. It's something you might use if you were providing
dialup network services (eg. an ISP) to others.
what you probably want to do is maybe set up mgetty to allow remote access
to your machine through the modem, and perhaps set up the ppp options to
assign an ip from one of the private address ranges (like 192.168.*.*) so
that you can establish a point to point session.
there are various ways of getting the end result you are after, i suggest
reading up on the howtos.
